Arduino – Redefining the TV Remote
Posted on June 13, 2010 | 2 CommentsWe use them every day, but has no one got bored of pressing buttons on a stick, it’s far too much effort pressing buttons! Surely there are better ways to control a device? After doing some work with my Nikon camera using IR to control... -
Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen to Visualise Sensor Data from SRF-05 – Part 2: Visualising the Data
Posted on November 15, 2009 | 16 CommentsThis is where all the work is done to read an interpret the values from the servo and the sensor. If the readings are to erratic then you won’t have nice shapes. Also if you don’t allow enough time to the signals to be sent... -
Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen to Visualise Sensor Data from SRF-05 – Part 1: Setting up the Circuit and Outputting Values
Posted on November 15, 2009 | 6 CommentsFirst things first, we need to build our circuit. This is the easy bit! We’ll be using the Arduino to control a servo that will rotate our sensor around 180 degrees. The Arduino will then send the value from the distance sensor along with the... -
Obstacle avoidance Arduino robot – build your own larryBot
Posted on August 16, 2009 | 38 CommentsSo after 5 previous versions that had various flaws, I now have an Arduino robot that actually works and although basic is very cheap – although there a probably a few more flaws so please point them out to me but this is a good... -
larryBot – Arduino robot versions 0.1 to 0.5 lessons learned
Posted on August 7, 2009 | No CommentsSo I’ve decided to build a robot using Arduino to control the sensors. Here’s my progress so far – I am hoping that my mistakes here and over the coming posts will guide people in more detail about what to avoid. Also I won’t provide... -
Arduino & Processing – Getting values from SRF05 ultrasound sensor & serial port
Posted on August 5, 2009 | 2 CommentsI’ve started to delve into Processing and passing values between Processing and Arduino. If you’re wondering what Processing is, basically its an open source programming language for vizualising data that can interface with Arduino either by reading values/ pins or by setting them. Just remember...
